The length of a side of the original square is about 12 inches.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the length of the original square, hence:

Area = x * x = x²

When the area is doubled:

2x² = (x + 6)(x + 4)

x² + 10x + 24 = 2x²

x² - 10x - 24 = 0

x = 12 inches

The length of a side of the original square is about 12 inches.

Can you guys please answer this is really important

Answer:

B) BC'= 8, m A'= 28°

Step-by-step explanation:

When dilating a figure, it increases its size or decreases. In this case, as it is dilating by a factor of 1/2, you can assume it decreases.

To find the value of the new figure, A'B'C', you have to multiply the factor times the lengths of the triangle, or, the only one they are asking for in this case, the length BC':

  • BC' = BC×1/2
  • BC' = 16×1/2
  • BC' = 8

The angles, otherwise, do not change. When figures are dilated, they are similar. The properties of similar figures are that they have congruent angles, therefore, the same angles. They do not have any effect caused by the factor, so m A' stays at 28°.

Hey You!

We must know what 80% of 500 is:

500 * 80% = 400

Ayden did meet is goal, because his goal was 400 and he painted 415 squares (Which is beyond his goal).
